Online session options
How narrative work and ACT translate to online therapy
Gregory commonly uses Narrative Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online sessions. Narrative Therapy helps people notice and retell the stories that shape daily choices, which can clarify what to change and what to keep. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches skills for accepting difficult feelings while focusing on values-driven action to move forward.He approaches online work collaboratively. The therapist and client talk about which methods feel right and try them out together. Adjustments are made as goals and preferences become clearer, so the approach can shift over time to match what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and learning new skills with visual cues. Phone sessions take less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework follow-ups, or people who prefer writing between sessions. These options give flexibility while keeping therapy focused on practical change and clearer daily routines.
